risk ? what risk ?
  • kernel update = formaility, if it doesnt work i can boot recue system
  • openssh update = necessary, quite a lot of security updates out
  • chrooted user directory = worst it could do is lock a few people out of the ftp for a while
  • services update = good idea in general
  • php safe mode and hardening = GOOD idea in general, i just hadnt gotten around to it yet
  • sudo and sudoers = once its setup, its VERY VERY usefull.
imo thos is low risk high gain server surgery, and you dont have to do a thing ...
